That is very accurate.
I'm his biggest fan as a business man. It is a model any young business person should follow. Forget the product as any product could be plugged in, but it is the model.
I met him once as a young kid. Again at a show some years back. And then at his pig picking year before last. I went to meet CYJ in person. If it were not to meet CYJ I would have been doing something other than baking outside in that wicked heat that day.
He sold two puppies that day. I saw a guy walk from behind the fence with two puppies and we were both headed to the parking area down by the road. I have no idea what he gave or what they were bred from. No idea. I am guessing based on advertisements they were in the $1500 range. (But like great business, it could have been these are the last two left and I need the brood pen so it could have been a two-fer deal) Regardless they bought two puppies and two gallons of water. We get to where the cars are parked. The guy has SC tags so it was good little drive. They put the dogs in the front seat. They lifted the hood. They did not check the oil. They just added a quart so I know they knew they had oil issues. They opened the radiator cap and added just about a gallon of water. One guy walks back up the path and refills the gallon jug and off they went.
I have driven some junk in my day and I an not knocking on that in the least. More than likely I have set out to go further driving worse. But never did I spend well over a thousand dollars on puppies when I was so close to walking back and forth to work.
So forget the dogs. Think about the business and the marketing he has accomplished. Pure genius.
When you plug in dogs the term peddler may apply. Look at the Olsteen fellow in Texas. He sells what people are willing to buy. From the outside in he is a crook but he fills the building every Sunday. Cars. Real estate. Horses. The actual product does not factor.
